We just finished our first quilt project, using scraps of material I had left over from other projects to make a quilt for Gina's doll bed. Gina helped piece all the squares together and I helped her sew them on the machine. When it was finished it looked just like this.
As soon as Gina cut the last thread, she ran to show her new quilt to her cousins, who were playing in the next room.
"Wow!" said Danny. "That's cool, Gina!" He stopped to examine the fabric scraps. "Here's my old pajama top material."
"Yes," nodded Gina. There are 16 squares in my quilt and each one is left over from something Aunty made for us. Here is my favorite sun dress!" She said, pointed to a yellow square.
"Hmm.. let me see that a minute," said Barney. "Here's a left over from my old bathrobe! Say, how many squares did you say you had in this quilt, Gina?"
"Sixteen. I counted them all so I know, its sixteen," said Gina.
"That's right. There are for rows and each row has four squares so it has to be sixteen. I know because I am learning multiplication," added Danny.
"Well, I hate to be one to disagree, but I think you have more than sixteen squares on that quilt!" said Barney, winking, "And I'll bet Aunty will agree with me!"What do you think? Are there more than 16 squares on Gina's doll quilt? If so, how many squares can you find?
